egypt later in the news hour. right now we want to turn the syria the u.n. special envow going to damascus with talks of freeze in aleppo but has admitted to al jazeera the chances of a deal are very slim the fight for the city started in 2012 and just about every fighting group including i.s.i.l. has a stake in the conflict, the latest word we have is government forces are losing ground and rebels say they killed 300 soldiers in the past week but the situation could change very quickly, aleppo is huge strategic important to all sides, more on that in a moment but first this report from our diplomatic editor james base. >> reporter: this will be the fourth time special enjoe mistura visited damascus since july when he took over the job of finding peace in syria, probably the hardest task in global dependency and has a

six-week freeze in aleppo in syria's largest city but not agreement from opposition groups and in a recent al jazeera interview he said he knew many believed the odds were against the success of his initiative. >> i hope it's not super slim because it would reflect the chances of syrian people to see hope at the end of this tunnel but one thing i can tell them is the u.n. would never give up on this experience. >> reporter: al jazeera learned details of the mistura plan and the special envow vowvow will go to istan ball and before march they will go to aleppo and the idea is for a halt in all aerial bombardment and attacks with heavy weapons and at the same time they aim to completely freeze all fighting on the

ground in one district in the southwest of the city. people in aleppo have been suffering so much the hope is humanitarian aid distributed and de-mistura has been working closely with the humanitarian chief. >> if he is able to do what he wants to do which is deescalate the violence that is good for us because it means that there are more places that we can get to. he is trying to once that violence is deescalated to focus on trying to bring some normalcy to aleppo trying to get people to restart their livelihoods. >> there has been nearly four years of war, about 200,000 people killed here at u.n. headquarters no one is particularly optimistic about the mistura plan but right now it's the only plan there is james base al jazeera, united

nations. we heard the mistura plan calls for halted attacks from aleppo on the air and ground and 48 civilians killed in the last week in the providence according to the observatory of human rights and we take a closer look now at the situation on the ground. >> reporter: fighting in the strategically important aleppo province is fierce and complicated. here rebel groups take on soldiers from the regime but there are many other sides involved in this war. last week forces fighting for syrian president bashar al-assad and iran and hezbollah said they taken north of aleppo and rebels since made ground and taking parts they lost to assad, killing his men and taking some of them prisoners they say. >> translator: right now we are here in the village and managed to free the whole town from assad gangs and iranians.

>> reporter: some belong to al-nusra group and i.s.i.l. is fighting for control of aleppo it recently withdraw from suburbs and still remains a threat from positions nearby and province has important supply roots for rebels and government forces and winning the battle in aleppo would be psychologically important for any side in the fact. >> it's the biggest city in syria and commercial part of the country and has incredibly strategic links to turkey and the north, to the heart land and the center and towards lebanon, towards the i.s.i.l. controlled areas and kurdish areas in the east so it's a very very important symbolic issue that the government and rebels are both willing to fight to maintain their control or at least the areas that they control because the city is divided. >> reporter: meanwhile cultural

heritage is being wiped out and images from a drone camera show what is left of the old city one of the country's world heritage sites. aleppo is a difficult place to live. people are without water, electricity and little access to food. many hospitals are not functioning well if at all. that makes some kind of ceasefire all the more important but no more likely is this kind of intense fighting continues. carolyn malone al jazeera. the president hadi meeting political leaders opposed to the houthi take over in sanaa and now based in aiden and we are live and word is he is trying to set up a government there. how is that going? >> reporter: yes, since his arrival here jane, president hadi has been meeting with security officers and governors

and that is a daily process. today he is meeting with more governors from the south, the earlier reports we had are that some of the northern governments will attend the meeting but they say that is not the case and probably they need more time to make it because it's a long distance and drive to this area and to understand that some of them will be arriving starting for tomorrow for more meetings so the idea of mr. hadi is to meet all those people who are pro, what do they say are opposed to the so called houthi court in sanaa and the purpose is to discuss two main areas here, the security area which means both the south in general and those regions in the north that are now in the south and have allegiance declared with mr. hadi will coordinate the efforts to make sure the houthis cannot advance in the regions and to mount counter attacks and we don't have specific reports about that and the other point

is political and want to show support to hadi as he tries to create an alternative place for running yemen here in aiden and they have not specifically said aiden is the capitol but advisor to the president said we don't need to do that that the case actually and the president doesn't also need to say i'm the legitimate president because his resignation was rejected by the parliament and he is now acting like the president of yemen. >> how hard is it going to be to set up the new government considering how many have re resigned and people are under house arrest and no effective government and so many different players wanting to get involved in this? >> reporter: yeah, it is a very long and very difficult process. he is just starting this process and there are many unknowns here along this difficult path.

some of the government places are under house arrest the government itself has resigned and the prime minister under house arrest has reiterated his adamant will not to go back to the office so there will be no government and hadi will start from scratch. reports that we have say that he is going to perhaps start by taking ministers from the earlier government who want to join the new one and probably he will appoint a new cabinet, we understand he has some problems and still making sure that people are rallying behind them and they have not expressed it in words but the meetings are men to make sure that is the case and they want to fight in case the fighting is imposed on them but the houthis. so he has -- there was also the international factor the u.n. is criticized of being not really very clear in its position. the u.n. envoy to yemen has not yet arrived in aiden, reports on

that are not confirmed and are not playing are very clear role and know u.n. always declared it's ready to preserve and protect and support legitimacy in yemen so it's now under this it has to show they want to deliver on that promise. >> mohamed with an update on attempts to form a new government, in yemen, much more still to come on the al jazeera news hour and pakistan people registered the prepail mobile phones before they are blocked. >> the oscar goes to birdman. >> reporter: aging movie star takes flight at this year's oscars and we will tell you who else plucked a golden statute and did england manage to drag themselves off the bottom of the world cup group with the latest in sports. ♪

charges related to one protest in 2013. the retrial of two al jazeera journalists in egypt has been adjourned until march 8 and accused of helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood and charges they deny and it was adjourned because of absence of witnesses. in syria rebels fighting the government of bashar al-assad killed 300 of his soldiers in the past week and assad soldiers captured the northern aleppo in a surprise attack and over run by rub rebels in a day. they under estimated boko haram and has carried out multiple attacks in the northeast and now controls an area as big as belgium and we are live from abuja so what else has he been saying about boko haram and the failings there? >> reporter: well, that is

right, jane and president jonathan is doing the rounds at various newspapers in nigeria basically talking about government strategy to defeat the group and in the interview the most important thing to come out of it is in the promise in 3-4 weeks boko haram would be significantly distinguished and jonathan said god willing the leader would also be caught and admitted mistakes in the handling of the boko haram crisis, he admitted to the fact that the military has not been properly equipped had not been well equipped and said that in the last few weeks they are now properly equipped and given the proper weapons to fight the group and that is why we have seen significant gains in the last few days in terms of clawing back territory that the group had taken over. on saturday the town of bagar really the thorn in the side for the military in terms of

fighting boko haram, a strategic area the group has been controlling was recaptured by nigerian forces and all of the pieces are evidence that the authorities are ultimately winning the war against the group and boko haram will be not completely eliminated within the next month but significantly distinguished. >> it appears he was in denial of boko haram and how strong they are, such a force, so what is public reaction likely to be to these admissions? >> jane, i think the public's reaction is likely to be divided and there are those who will say this is great, they will be happy the president jonathan is giving interviews and speaking more about what he is doing to try and sort out the crisis going on in the northeast. those people are likely to be people who are also forcing him with open shunellith elections held on the 28th of march and said one of the

problems has been the p.r. team is a disaster and not communicated properly with the domestic audiences and international community what the government has been doing to try and end boko haram. but on the other hand you definitely will have those who are not supporting president jonathan in the upcoming elections saying this is too little, too late. nearly a million people have been displaced, thousands upon thousands have been killed. we have a refugee crisis internally displaced people all across the country who had to flee the northeast and the reason he is doing this now is the writing is on the wall and you are stating defeat and this is the toughest presidential election in post independent history and jonathan is losing ground and now his people have come out and he has come out to try to convince nigeria that everybody is fine but they are not buying it. afghan army has large-scale

14,000 international troops to remain but most of them have been left to train, advise and assist afghan soldiers and u.s. is reconsidering a complete pull out by 2016. >> president obama is considering a number of options to reenforce the support for president ghani security strategy including possible changes to the timeline for the draw down of u.s. troops. that could mean taking another look timing and sequence the base closers. >> reporter: as the afghan army launches offensive these fighters in the providence prepare a counter attack and there was rare access to fighters and said what they always said they are fighting against a foreign invasion and those who support it. >> translator: i train them so they can sacrifice themselves in the name of god and as they are doing this they are fighting in difficult situations to please the almighty.

[gunfire] basically being in civil war and libya in war at the moment and sinai, the houthi take over in yemen, these things really happened since the last idec so arguably people will be looking

[cheers] no surprise there, birdman always stood a good chance and inevitable it would be this or boy hood that took the big one and best director minutes earlier gave indication that birdman would get best picture and the two often go hand in hand and didn't yield best actor and went to eddy as steven hawking in the theory of everything and the speech clumsy but humble you can see this is a man just getting a hang of the business. >> this oscar this oscar this

surprised actually and i have been predicting boy hood would one one of the major awards with best picture or director and that had been the goal up to now with the masters and golden globes and surprised that birdman swept and it is a worthy winner and no problem with that but it did feel self congratulations and it's a movie hollywood likes and had a feeling of back slapping about it slightly. >> boy hood i suppose is different and shows movies is be made in a different way. >> reporter: boy hood is absolutely one project and i think that is why it's so outstanding and a shame it was not a winner of the night and filmed over 12 years and they would get together over a three-week period and film a coming of age story about a boy growing up and it was sort of the under dog picture and independent film and why critics and audiences really kind of

went for it really loved it but as you say the academy votes for who it likes and the practitioners were dazzled by birdman which is a sattire to hollywood and it was shot in one take and people behind the camera are people who vote. >> other impressive films the blockbusters who make a lot of money did not future and why is that the case and what is wrong with that? >> i don't think there is anything wrong with it i think what happened over the recents years is you had massive blockbusters that sucked all the money out of hollywood and you have very small pictures in the other corner with little in between and pictures that would win and now we have the under dog pictures one called whiplash made for a couple million dollars from a student

and teacher and that got three oscars of the night and awards are the time of year where smaller pictures are recognized and blockbusters get huge recognition and audiences and this is your chance to register these small films given a boost by the oscars and if they are good for anything they are good for pushing pictures and pushing people to see pictures they might not see otherwise. >> there is the type of films with people left out and on the red carpet and what is your comment? >> reporter: you saw neil patrick harris the host saying we are presenting the best and whitest tonight and diversity is huge issue at the oscars and all actor nominees have been white and i think it's part of the makeup of the academy and 94% white, 76% male and movies are subjective and people vote for

who they like and what chimes with them and vote for people they know and stories that chime with them but i think you can over play this and the racism and think last year the top film went to "12 years a slave" about the civil rights movement and the horrors of america's slavery so it's unfair to say the academy is racist. thank you very much. stay with us the sport is up next. let's go racing boys. nascar puts a bad week behind it as the season gets underway at daytona 500. ♪
